Fibroids Signs and Symptoms Symptoms of fibroids may include: 1  Heavy Vaginal Bleeding — Excessively heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding is a common symptom. 2  Pelvic Discomfort — Women with large fibroids may feel heaviness or pressure in their lower abdomen or pelvis.  Pelvic Pain — A less common symptom is acute, severe pain. This occurs when a fibroid goes through a process called degeneration. Usually, the pain is localized to a specific spot and improves on its own within two to four weeks. Using a pain reliever, such as ibuprofen, can decrease the pain significantly.
